Match Preview
Unión Española hosts Once Caldas in the Copa Sudamericana on April 10, with both teams aiming to secure vital points in the group stage. Unión Española's recent form has been inconsistent, with only one win in their last five matches (WLLDL), while Once Caldas arrives with a strong record, having won four of their last five (WWWWL). This disparity in form could play a crucial role in the outcome of the match.
Historically, the head-to-head record between these teams suggests a tightly contested affair, with only two wins in the last ten encounters and no matches featuring over 2.5 goals or both teams scoring. Given Unión Española's struggles in front of goal, the odds of 2.1 for over 2.5 goals may not be as appealing as the 1.83 for both teams to score. With the match taking place at Estadio Santa Laura, the home side will be keen to leverage their support, but Once Caldas' current momentum makes them a formidable opponent. Expect a tactical battle that could hinge on defensive solidity and set-pieces.
